What would happen if you followed a ketogenic diet, but increased the protein?

That’s the question biomedical scientist Vanessa Spina set out to answer, and in this episode, we’re exploring her absolutely crazy results and what they taught her about energy, body composition, and lifelong health.

 

We’re covering so much ground, from macronutrients and ketosis to our vegan pasts (yes, you read that correctly!). Plus, Vanessa shares some fascinating information about mitochondrial health—what it means, why it matters so much, and what you can do to improve it. Be prepared to have your mind blown.
